Bug ID: 56686
Summary: Use exponent notation for identifying the last
significant digit in a QuantityValue

QuantityValue currently uses absolute string position to indicate the last
significant digit in the decimal. This is annoying because the number of
significant digits of two decimals are not comparable (they are influenced by
the number of digits before the decimal point). Using an exponent to indicate
the digit would be much more handy: -1 would be the first digit after the
decimal point, 0 the first before the decimal point, and so on. DecimalMath
should use the same for rounding.
